It’s not every day that the Parade offices are graced by an Internet celebrity like Grumpy Cat. Everyone’s favorite feline stopped by last week to celebrate her second birthday. And (not surprisingly!) an elaborate birthday celebration couldn’t perk up the grumpiest cat alive.

Because it was her birthday, we tried to lift her spirit by showering her with toys. First up was the feather teaser wand, and while most cat owners would talk about how much their precious pets love chasing it, Grumpy Cat was having none of it.

Same goes for ribbon, catnip puffs, twine, a toy mouse, and even hay! In fact, the only thing that kept her energy up throughout our video shoot was a snack break with Friskies Party Mix between takes.

Maybe Grumpy Cat’s boredom with our toys is because she’s already gotten the best birthday gift she could have asked for: being put on the packaging for a limited edition batch of Friskies Party Mix.

For her birthday, Grumpy Cat is hosting the One Million Frowns Challenge with Friskies. Check out their website for more details on how you could win the chance to wish Grumpy Cat a Happy Birthday at her party on April 29 in New York City.
